The book "The Carnivorous Carnival"
by Lemony Snicket is a great book. It is about these children whose parents
died in a fire in the Baudelaire Mansion. The family member that the orphans
first got sent to named Count Olaf was out to get the enormous fortune
that their parents left for them. After many tragedies with many family
members, they ended up in the trunk of Count Olaf's car at a carnival.
They disquise thamselves to try and find out some secrets about their lives.
In their disquises, they decide to join Count Olaf and his troupe. At the
end, something terrible happens to them which I'm not going to tell you
because you need to read this book for yourself. I recommend this book
to everyone who loves mysteries. (Kristin, student, Musselman Middle

Will these poor children ever
escape from Count Olaf? In this book, the kids end up in the trunk
of Count Olaf's car going to the Caligari Carnival. And now they
must disguise themselves as carnival freaks to keep their identity a secret.
They must steal the crystal ball from Madame Lulu in order to find out
if their parents are still alive. So, look for Klaus and Violet disguised
as a two headed person. And poor Sunny wearing a full beard to pass
as half wolf. And look for a cliff hanging ending that will leave
you wanting more. |
